RICHMOND, Va. -- Portions of Broad Street will close as crews work on GRTCs new rapid transit system.

Starting at 7 a.m. every morning, and working until 5 p.m., crews will close the south side lane and part of the sidewalk on Broad Street every Monday through Saturday, weather permitting.

The work will run through October 16.

Crews started on on the eastbound side at Thompson Street on Tuesday and will work their way to Laurel Street at a pace of about a block each day, according to GRTC.

ESTIMATED TIMING/LOCATIONS (for August work):
• Week of August 15: South side of Broad Street, from Thompson to Cleveland Street
• Week of August 22: South side of Broad Street, from Cleveland Street to North Boulevard.
• Week of August 29: South side of Broad Street, from North Boulevard to North Davis Street.

The city says the work will impact parking in parts of Richmond where crews are working, but businesses on Broad Street should not be affected.
